I finally got my DRY (thanks BIGWOOD) and it’s awesome. The purest white, the brightest, most badass light I have. It’s a monster and it pulls… 2.8 amps.
I was kind of disappointed. 2.8 amps on fresh batteries? Foy’s almost got 4.3 and this seems no different from his.
I finally traced down the problem and it’s probably the batteries. Currently I have Tenergy 2600s and they’re okay, but I’d like to see more.
So here’s the question: What brand of PROTECTED 18650 gives the most amps AND won’t break the bank?
Glad to hear you like your DRY. Though 2.8A on direct drive seems a little low on your Tenergy 18650s. Like Shadowww mentioned, your multimeter maybe understating the readings.
The protected Panasonics would be an ok choice since I put the extra washers on the battery carrier to accommodate the long batteries (sorry, forgot to mention that when i sold it to you). However the Sanyos would probably give you a little more amps compared to the Pannys.
